These days, investors are flooding buyer’s markets throughout Mexico in order to find rental properties in cities with rising and healthy economies. If you have purchased a home in Mexico and are looking to use it as rental property, you may find it quite difficult to adequately manage it yourself. This is why you will need to hire a responsible, trustworthy property manager who will not only collect rent and other fees on your behalf, but also handle the daily maintenance and respond to your renters’ needs.
The best way to find a property manager is through referrals from other satisfied customers. Ask your real estate agent if they know a good property management company or any other people in your area who have purchased rental properties.
First impressions mean everything. Does this person seem put-together and well versed? Are they presentable and meet you with direct eye contact? If you have an uneasy feeling, always trust your gut and move on to the next candidate.
It is important to know how the property management company advertises your home and what they do about filling vacancies quickly and efficiently. Where do they advertise? Do they advertise in newspapers, online or local signage? Do they have a website and if so, does it look presentable? If they have a website, check to see how easy it is to navigate and where your home will be positioned.
When they find a prospective candidate to rent your home, what is their procedure and screening process? Do they do background checks on potential tenants? It is important to know who is going to rent your property and how they will treat the home. A good property manager will know how to weed out the bad candidates and find the right tenants for your house.
It is important to know what exactly they will do to manage your property aside from finding tenants and collecting rent. Will they make sure your lawn is cut and the house is clean? A good property manager will take care of every aspect of the house including regular cleaning and maintenance and repairs when needed.
